Guess what flew in to my mail this week? . Isn’t it gorgeous? I know the finished hardcover is sure to be even more beautiful, but it’s exciting to have the ARC in my hands! . Today it’s been so weirdly cold that we had snow flurries (why. WHY.) but I’m realizing more and more that August is only three months away! As we get closer to the release date I’ll be sharing more preorder incentives and other goodies, but right now I’m still in the planning and prep stages and it’s making my head whirl. So much to be done and so much more that I *could* do... . Have you participated in any cool preorder campaigns or giveaways recently? What kinds of incentives do you enjoy? . . #rjandersonwriter #enclaveescape #enclavepublishing #yabooks #IReadYA #yareads #speculativefiction #christianfantasy #fairybooks #flightandflametrilogy #swift #swiftbook #arc #advancedreaderscopy #cornishpixies #cornishpixie https://www.instagram.com/p/B_8O1hSArD0/?igshid=u0zdm8ypveg9

Try out for the Quidditch team Penny said...it'll be fun she said...

I never made it back to the theatre to see Fantastic Beasts a second time (as intended), so now I’ll be impatiently waiting for the DVD release. Books (specifically the screenplay!) will help, though. 😉📚

Here we are with a new #mybookalphabet post: J is for Joan the Wad! . In Cornish folklore, Joan the Wad is the queen of the piskeys (the spelling I settled on for my #FlightandFiretrilogy - it’s also frequently spelled pisky or piskie, and of course pixie). An old English rhyme describes her as a capricious will-o’the-wisp, sometimes teasing human folk and sometimes guiding them to safety: . Jack O’Lantern, Joan the Wad, That tickled the maid and made her mad, Light me home, the weather's bad. . Generally, though, Joan the Wad is seen in Cornwall as a figure of good luck and protection, and Jack O’Lantern is her king or consort. So when I was creating the world of the Cornish piskeys for SWIFT, I decided on “Joan” as a title rather than a personal name for their queen. . It’s also, though I didn’t plan it this way, a small tribute to my mother, a true queen in every way — whose parents emigrated from Redruth in Cornwall to Timmins in northern Ontario a few years before she was born. They named her Joan, and she in turn gave me Joan as my middle name — that’s the J. in my initials. But my mother had never heard of Joan the Wad until she read my book, so I felt happy to have given her back a little lost piece of her Cornish ancestry. . Q: Do you have a favorite folk character or creature in your family background? I’d love to hear about it in comments! . . . #joanthewad #cornishpixie #cornishpixies #cornishpisky #cornishpiskey #spriggan #spriggans #folkloreandfairytales #britishfolklore #fairies #fae #fairytale #faery #faeriesofinstagram #fairybooks #rjandersonwriter #enclaveescape #enclavepublishing #yabooks #IReadYA #yareads #speculativefiction #christianfantasy #flightandflametrilogy #swift #swiftbook https://www.instagram.com/p/CAHGG2Xgu2x/?igshid=113e0jszkl6a8
